A hydraulic lift system utilizes two 3 in. diameter cylinders. Workers must determine how much the system is capable of lifting before deciding how much weight can be lifted safely. The system runs at a gauge pressure of 2000 lb/in^2.

    The weight that will be lifted will be distributed into the two cylinders. First, we must calculate the force that one cylinder is able to bear, which is calculated using:

    Pressure = Force / Area

    Force = Pressure * Area

    Force = 2000 * π * (3/2) ²

    Force = 14,137.2 Lbs

    Combined weight bearable by the two cylinders:

    2 * 14,137.2

    = 28,000 lbs
